Abstract The low-volume spare parts business is often identified as a potential beneficiary of additive manufacturing (AM) technologies. Currently, high AM unit costs or low AM part reliabilities deem the application of AM economical inferior to conventional manufacturing (CM) methods in most cases. In this paper, we investigate the potential to overcome these deficiencies by combining AM and CM methods. For that purpose, we develop an approach that is tailored toward the unique characteristics of dual sourcing with two production methods. Opposed to the traditional dual sourcing literature, we consider the different failure behavior of parts produced by AM and CM methods. Using numerical experiments and a case study in the aviation industry, we explore under which conditions dual sourcing with AM performs best. Single sourcing with AM methods typically leads to higher purchasing and maintenance costs while single sourcing with CM methods increases backorder and holding costs. Savings of more than 30% compared to the best single sourcing option are possible even if the reliability or unit costs of a part sourced with AM are three times worse than for a CM part. In conclusion, dual sourcing methods may play an important role to exploit the benefits of AM methods while avoiding its drawbacks in the low-volume spare parts business.

Complex Product Systems

Corporate Governance relationships have become more relevant to the changed nature of the firm, the role of human capital has become very important in managing the firm in those environments where the source of competitive advantage is strongly based on knowledge and intangible resources as in the case of complex product systems industries. The important role of this intangible asset in managing the complex environment has amplified the incompleteness of the agency theory, changing the nature of the Corporate Governance relationships and highlighting the role of the human capital. This paper attempts to describe, using Problem Solving Behaviour approach, how the Corporate Governance relationships work in high competitive and complex environments as in case of the business aviation industry.

Integrated Logistics

The problem of foreign-made spare parts and components import delivery is relevant because international cooperation in aviation industry has become widespread. Logistics provides not only new components procurement but also borrowing, renting, leasing or exchange operations. To control the process effectively, it is necessary to decompose the import delivery process, as effective integrated logistics provides spare parts and components delivery within the shortest time and the lowest costs. Project management methods are used for this purpose. The object of the research is import delivery of foreign-made spare parts and components to maintenance and repair center. For the shortest delivery time and the lowest delivery costs it is necessary to describe the import delivery structure, to determine the import delivery works interrelations and their duration and to standardize implementation costs. The research describes the foreign-made spare parts and components import delivery structure, explains the operations sequence, sets the approximate work duration. The import delivery network schedule was also made. Implementation of the resulting structure in project management software will allow to control import delivery time and costs, to make out reports on resource usage. The import delivery project passport will help to manage the resources costs, used for spare parts and components delivery as well as to optimize the project.

The inventory control of turnover parts is the key and difficult point for aircraft spare parts management, which is directly related to the benefit level of airlines in aviation industry.On the basis of considering the depreciation cost, repair cost, inventory cost and shortage cost, this paper analyzes the annual replacement times and turnover cycle, and puts forward the optimization model of Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) of aircraft turnover parts. The feasibility of the method is verified by an example. Through sensitivity analysis, it is concluded that the strong sensitive factors affecting EOQ are annual replacement times and unit shortage cost, while the purchase price has little influence on EOQ.

The objective of this chapter is to understand the expectations and behaviors of business aviation pilots towards online learning. The authors believe that the company that is able to offer an integrated, individualized, and useful online training experience will gain a significant competitive advantage. To that end, the authors have researched and synthesized studies that are currently available and relate to this important future product. In addition, an exploratory survey of business aviation pilots and interviews with key aviation industry players are used to determine current attitudes and expectations towards online learning. The scope of this chapter will be limited to exploring the niche market of business aviation pilots using the aviation training company CAE SimuFlite and their new SimfinityTM .technology. However, the authors consider the concepts discussed to be applicable to all business aviation pilots.

During the COVID-19 pandemic period, all airlines experienced a severe impact and the route operating cost is very susceptible to the impact of flight duration and aviation fuel prices. This paper analyzes the operation performance of Beibu Gulf airlines (low cost airline company) with data envelopment analysis CCR model in pre-COVID-19 pandemic period. Under the domestic vigorous promotion of tourism development and people's huge demand for travel, the airlines in mainland China continue rapid development, which accelerates the emergence of local airlines other than the four major airlines and leads to increasingly fierce operation competition in the civil aviation industry. Behind the competition among airlines, the operational performance of airlines can best reflect the company's development status. In this context, airlines should choose appropriate operational strategies to strengthen its competitiveness and operational capabilities. The DEA model is a mature input-output research tool, and there have been many studies related to operational performance of the aviation industry. By using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) solver software, the input and output indicators from 2017 to 2019 are analyzed. Preliminary results show that routes and oil price factors have not reached effective status. Beibu Gulf Airlines gradually shifts to low-cost mode, the faced challenges are as follows: 1. The competition among domestic low-cost airlines; 2. The current poor overall service quality of low-cost airlines as evaluated by customers; 3. How to arrange routes, flight, service strategy, etc. Airbus uses enhanced aviation systems for this series of aircraft to improve the overall reliability of the aircraft, reduce maintenance and spare parts costs, thus helping airlines greatly reduce maintenance costs, which is very beneficial to low-cost airlines. Based on this, this paper puts forward some suggestions, such as optimizing routes, developing feeder flights in second tier cities of popular destinations, controlling fuel costs, making low-cost aviation fuel reserves, reducing the weight of passengers' carry-on luggage or charging additional baggage charges.

Among the innovative technologies that have the greatest impact on the aviation industry, it is worth highlighting the technologies of the Internet of Things and its combinations with other technologies. In addition, it is worth noting that the use of Internet of Things technologies reduces the number of contacts between the personnel involved in the maintenance of the aircraft, which helps to reduce the risk of contracting viral diseases. This work is devoted to the study of the effectiveness of this technology application in optimizing the supply of components and spare parts for aircraft maintenance. To conclude a conclusion about the effectiveness of the application of this technology, a simulation model of the corresponding process is being developed.
